The LORD (יהוה) will go out to fight, His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, and the LORD (יהוה) will be king over all the earth.
Zechariah 14:1-21 NIV . . .A day of the LORD (יהוה) is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls. (2) I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. (3) Then the LORD (יהוה) will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. (4) On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. (5) You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD (יהוה) my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. (6) On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. (7) It will be a unique day—a day known only to the LORD (יהוה)—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light. (8) On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter. (9) The LORD (יהוה) will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD (יהוה), and his name the only name. (10) The whole land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up high from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place. (11) It will be inhabited; never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure. (12) This is the plague with which the LORD (יהוה) will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. (13) On that day people will be stricken by the LORD (יהוה) with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another. (14) Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. (15) A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps. (16) Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD (יהוה) Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. (17) If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD (יהוה) Almighty, they will have no rain. (18) If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The LORD (יהוה) will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. (19) This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. (20) On that day HOLY TO THE LORD (יהוה) will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the LORD (יהוה)'s house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar. (21) Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the LORD (יהוה) Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD (יהוה) Almighty.
Zechariah 14:1-21 WEB . . .Behold, a day of Yahweh (יהוה) comes, when your plunder will be divided within you. (2) For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city will be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go out into captivity, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. (3) Then Yahweh (יהוה) will go out and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. (4) His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in two, from east to west, making a very great valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south. (5) You shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel. Yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Yahweh (יהוה) my God will come, and all the holy ones with you. (6) It will happen in that day that there will not be light, cold, or frost. (7) It will be a unique day which is known to Yahweh (יהוה)—not day, and not night; but it will come to pass that at evening time there will be light. (8) It will happen in that day that living waters will go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. It will be so in summer and in winter. (9) Yahweh (יהוה) will be King over all the earth. In that day Yahweh (יהוה) will be one, and his name one. (10) All the land will be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin’s gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses. (11) Men will dwell therein, and there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will dwell safely. (12) This will be the plague with which Yahweh (יהוה) will strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh will consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will consume away in their sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth. (13) It will happen in that day that a great panic from Yahweh (יהוה) will be among them; and they will lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbor. (14) Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together: gold, silver, and clothing, in great abundance. (15) A plague like this will fall on the horse, on the mule, on the camel, on the donkey, and on all the animals that will be in those camps. (16) It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh (יהוה) of Armies, and to keep the feast of booths. (17) It will be that whoever of all the families of the earth doesn’t go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahweh (יהוה) of Armies, on them there will be no rain. (18) If the family of Egypt doesn’t go up and doesn’t come, neither will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which Yahweh (יהוה) will strike the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths. (19) This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths. (20) In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, "HOLY TO YAHWEH"; and the pots in Yahweh (יהוה)’s house will be like the bowls before the altar. (21) Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yahweh (יהוה) of Armies; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yahweh (יהוה) of Armies.
Zechariah 14:1-21 ESV . . .Behold, a day is coming for the LORD (יהוה), when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. (2) For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. (3) Then the LORD (יהוה) will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. (4) On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward. (5) And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD (יהוה) my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. (6) On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. (7) And there shall be a unique day, which is known to the LORD (יהוה), neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light. (8) On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter. (9) And the LORD (יהוה) will be king over all the earth. On that day the LORD (יהוה) will be one and his name one. (10) The whole land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem shall remain aloft on its site from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. (11) And it shall be inhabited, for there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction. Jerusalem shall dwell in security. (12) And this shall be the plague with which the LORD (יהוה) will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. (13) And on that day a great panic from the LORD (יהוה) shall fall on them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. (14) Even Judah will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. (15) And a plague like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and whatever beasts may be in those camps. (16) Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD (יהוה) of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths. (17) And if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD (יהוה) of hosts, there will be no rain on them. (18) And if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no rain; there shall be the plague with which the LORD (יהוה) afflicts the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. (19) This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. (20) And on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, "Holy to the LORD (יהוה)." And the pots in the house of the LORD (יהוה) shall be as the bowls before the altar. (21) And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holy to the LORD (יהוה) of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And there shall no longer be a trader in the house of the LORD (יהוה) of hosts on that day.
Zechariah 14:1-21 GNB . . .The day when the LORD (יהוה) will sit in judgment is near. Then Jerusalem will be looted, and the loot will be divided up before your eyes. (2) The LORD (יהוה) will bring all the nations together to make war on Jerusalem. The city will be taken, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half of the people will go into exile, but the rest of them will not be taken away from the city. (3) Then the LORD (יהוה) will go out and fight against those nations, as he has fought in times past. (4) At that time he will stand on the Mount of Olives, to the east of Jerusalem. Then the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west by a large valley. Half of the mountain will move northward, and half of it southward. (5) You will escape through this valley that divides the mountain in two. You will flee as your ancestors did when the earthquake struck in the time of King Uzziah of Judah. The LORD (יהוה) my God will come, bringing all the angels with him. (6) When that time comes, there will no longer be cold or frost, (7) nor any darkness. There will always be daylight, even at nighttime. When this will happen is known only to the LORD (יהוה). (8) When that time comes, fresh water will flow from Jerusalem, half of it to the Dead Sea and half to the Mediterranean. It will flow all year long, in the dry season as well as the wet. (9) Then the LORD (יהוה) will be king over all the earth; everyone will worship him as God and know him by the same name. (10) The whole region, from Geba in the north to Rimmon in the south, will be made level. Jerusalem will tower above the land around, from the Benjamin Gate to the Corner Gate (the place where the old gate was) and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses. (11) The people will live there in safety, no longer threatened by destruction. (12) The LORD (יהוה) will bring a terrible disease on all the nations that make war on Jerusalem. Their flesh will rot away while they are still alive; their eyes and their tongues will rot away. (13) At that time the LORD (יהוה) will make them so confused and afraid that everyone will seize the man next to him and attack him. (14) The men of Judah will fight to defend Jerusalem. They will take as loot the wealth of all the nations—gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance. (15) A terrible disease will also fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, and the donkeys—on all the animals in the camps of the enemy. (16) Then all of the survivors from the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go there each year to worship the LORD (יהוה) Almighty as king and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters. (17) If any nation refuses to go and worship the LORD (יהוה) Almighty as king, then rain will not fall on their land. (18) If the Egyptians refuse to celebrate the Festival of Shelters, then they will be struck by the same disease that the LORD (יהוה) will send on every nation that refuses to go. (19) This will be the punishment that will fall on Egypt and on all the other nations if they do not celebrate the Festival of Shelters. (20) At that time even the harness bells of the horses will be inscribed with the words "Dedicated to the LORD (יהוה)." The cooking pots in the Temple will be as sacred as the bowls before the altar. (21) Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in all Judah will be set apart for use in the worship of the LORD (יהוה) Almighty. The people who offer sacrifices will use them for boiling the meat of the sacrifices. When that time comes, there will no longer be any merchant in the Temple of the LORD (יהוה) Almighty.
Zechariah 14:1-21 CEV . . .The LORD (יהוה) will have his day of victory! And the loot you take from your enemies will be divided among you. (2) I, the LORD (יהוה), will bring all the nations together to attack Jerusalem. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half of the people will be dragged off, but the others will not be taken away. (3) The LORD (יהוה) will attack those nations like a warrior going to battle. (4) He will take his stand on the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem, and the mountain will split in half, forming a wide valley that runs from east to west. Half the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south. (5) Then you people will escape through this valley, which reaches to Azal. You will run away, just as you did during the earthquake in the time of King Uzziah of Judah. The LORD (יהוה) my God will come with his holy angels. (6) When he does, there will be no light from the sun or moon or stars. (7) It will be a day known only to the LORD (יהוה). There won't be day or night, but when evening comes, it will still be light. (8) In both summer and winter, life-giving streams will flow from Jerusalem, half of them to the Dead Sea in the east and half to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. (9) Then there will be only one LORD (יהוה), who rules as king over all the earth. Everyone will worship him as the one true God. (10) From Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem, the entire country will be turned into flatlands, with Jerusalem high above from Benjamin Gate and the First Gate to the Corner Gate, and from Hananel Tower to the king's wine vats. (11) Jerusalem will always be secure and will be inhabited, never again to be destroyed. (12) Here is what the LORD (יהוה) will do to those who attack Jerusalem: While they are still alive, he will make their bodies rot away, their eyes fall from their sockets, and their tongues drop out. (13) The LORD (יהוה) will make them go into a frenzy and start attacking each other, (14) until even the people of Judah turn against those in Jerusalem. This same terrible disaster will also strike the animals in the camp of the enemy. The LORD (יהוה) will make them wipe each other out. (15) (14) (16) Afterwards, the survivors from those nations that attacked Jerusalem will go there each year to worship the King, the LORD (יהוה) All-Powerful, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters. (17) No rain will fall on the land of any nation that refuses to go to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD (יהוה) All-Powerful. (18) This horrible disaster will strike the Egyptians and everyone else who refuses to go there for the celebration. (19) (18) (20) At that time the words "Dedicated to the LORD (יהוה)" will be engraved on the bells worn by horses. In fact, every ordinary cooking pot in Jerusalem will be just as sacred to the LORD (יהוה) All-Powerful as the bowls used at the altar. Any one of them will be acceptable for boiling the meat of sacrifices, (21) and there will no longer be traders in the temple of the LORD (יהוה) All-Powerful.
